عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ: أَيُّ سَاعَةٍ تُوْتِرِينَ؟ قَالَتْ: مَا أُوْتِرُ حَتَّى يُؤَذَّنُ وَمَا يُؤَذَّنُ حَتَّى يَطْلُعَ الْفَجْرُ، قَالَتْ: وَكَانَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُؤَذِّنَانِ، بِلَالٌ وَعَمْرُو بْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((إِذَا أَذَّنَ عَمْرٌو فَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا، فَإِنَّهُ رَجُلٌ ضَرِيرُ الْبَصَرِ وَإِذَا أَذَّنَ بِلَالٌ فَارْفَعُوا أَيْدِيَكُمْ فَإِنَّ بِلَالًا لَا يُؤَذِّنُ (كَذَا قَالَ) حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ))
Aswad bin Yazid says: I asked Umm al-Mu'mineen Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): At what time do you perform Witr? She said: I do not perform Witr until the muezzins have given the calls to prayer, and they give these calls after the rising of Fajr. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had two muezzins: Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Amr bin Umm Maktum (may Allah be pleased with him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When Amr gives the call to prayer, you may eat and drink, because he is a blind man, but when Bilal gives the call to prayer, then stop eating and drinking, because Bilal does not give the call until the morning has arrived.
